Welcome back to reality (for those of us who are back to work this glorious Monday). I took a week off but still managed to feel a little frazzled when Christmas Eve came around. Luckily both my husband and I have amazing families, who made the running around and last minute shopping totally worth it. We spent a lot of time visiting and celebrating a really great year together.

I had a list of little projects I wanted to accomplish over Christmas break, and not a single one was completed. That’s okay though, it’s the thought that counts, right? Here’s an easy one that I found over at lil sugar — hot chocolate on a stick! I intended to make these ahead of time and hand them out to all the kids at our family Christmas party, but they could totally fit the wedding favor bill as well!

Pretty these up by wrapping them individually in a little cello bag and tying them with bakers twine or a colorful ribbon.

These are great and these do make excellent invitations as well for your bridesmaid! Something like "Let's have hot chocolate together, I need to ask you something" then you could pop the question if they'll agree to become your bridesmaid during the event. Isn't that great? Or you could create your own wedding website (you could create them by the way at http://www.tyingsoon.com )and write about why you chose them as your bridesmaid. It will make them feel so special.

just found your blog through brides magazine and am enamored with all the pretty details here (mia joie slippers!! so beautiful).

i developed a recipe for hot chocolate on a stick this past fall. i'll include the link incase you find the recipe helpful or would like to check out what some of my readers did with it, there are a few very fun ideas. http://giverslog.com/?p=3290
